Remember- this year we are rotating Specials daily. Fourth graders have spent the last two weeks working on basketball skills with Mrs. Periard, our new gym teacher. 🏀
Time to show your Panther Pride! Wear Blue and Gold Day on Friday for the Panther Fall Kickoff Classic! Go Panthers!
What a great Day 1! Look at this team- still smiling at the end of an amazing day! Thank you for all the support and supplies you sent! We loved getting to know your child today!
We can't wait to see you tomorrow! Drop off starts at 8:45.
Thanks to a wonderful grant we were able to add a third GSRP classroom this year. Miss Krista Berg will now be teaching GSRP. Her classroom received a makeover! The students are going to enjoy this new furniture, carpet, magnet station, light table, alternative seating, blocks, toys, dolls, kitchen, art station, and so many new books.
Good news- the postcards and envelopes are at the Post Office ready to be mailed tomorrow! It's our favorite time of year! A huge thank you to Mrs. Jones as it is a LOT of work entering 690 kids into Skyward for their new classes, printing labels, and stickering & stamping all of these pieces of mail. Students can start checking the mail later in the week.
We have several new students who will not be receiving their class assignment in the mail because they are missing documents yet. We have emailed you and attempted to call you to remind you. Your child is not fully enrolled until we have all of the documents that have been requested. We understand that you are busy, but we definitely need these items before the first day of school, or your student will be unable to start on time. We are unable to enter them into skyward and put them in a class until we have that legally. We don't want any of our friends disappointed. So please check your emails- if this is an issue contact the office tomorrow and stop up with your documentation.
We also need teacher subs for the 2025-2026 school year! Are you looking for flexible employment? This is a great job- helpful staff and happy kids! Sign up at Willsub.com. Teacher substitutes need 60 college credit hours to apply. Do not delay- the process can take 2-3 weeks to get signed up.
The school year is approaching, we need support staff substitutes! Do you have a day open in your week that you would like to make some extra money? Are you looking for a flexible work day that would fit into your family's schedule? We'd love to have you substitute at North! Support Staff subs need a high school diploma/GDE. No experience needed. You sign up to sub on days that fit your schedule! Sign up at willsub.com- don't delay, the process is online and can take 2-3 weeks to get started. We have lots of opportunities for you- if you wanted, it could turn into 25-40 hour week for you! It can be as little or as much as you like!
Hello Panthers! The Fall 2025 North News was sent in Seesaw. It is full of information! You can also access it on our school website or directly at this link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bZ1wSIiUKVmlN3aZalrpnsbjJSqKaiEP/view?usp=sharing
Students who completed 50 ST MATH puzzles a week were invited to the Splash Pad today. Students enjoyed the water, playground, and a frozen treat. Thank you to all the families who encouraged their kids this summer, to local businesses for their support, and to Ms. Keipert for all of her planning!

Don't miss out on ths opportunity. If any local clubs, businesses, doctors, dentists, would like to participate just sign up on our google form! https://forms.gle/WopLwPMpJsd2iCtY6
We can't believe August is already here! We are back in the office this week from 8 AM- 4 PM. We will be very busy working on classlists, calling other schools for students whose SOC form was dropped off this summer, getting postcards ready to send next week, and getting the building ready for the start of the school year. If you previously dropped off a School of Choice form, it is likely we were waiting to hear back from previous schools before reviewing your application. We hope to have this finished by the end of the week. If you have yet to turn in your SOC form, the window closes August 8th! Get your forms in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WuXVQzOdCUy3DGX5KK-Wmri4ggxU5u6P/view Please do not call the office asking who your child has for a teacher. These will be sent out via postcards or letters hopefully on August 11th. We will not give that information out over the phone- plus the kids love watching for the postcards.
